[Limb revascularization through the deep femoral artery in atherosclerotic femoropopliteal occlusions].

The article analyses the results of examination and surgical treatment of 101 patients who were subjected to 105 reconstructive interventions on the deep femoral artery (DFA). Angiography showed affection of the orifice and beginning (up to 2 cm) of the DFA in 57.14% of cases, for a distance of 2-6 cm in 24.

[Surgical treatment of ischemic colitis in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm].

The authors suggest an original method for revascularization of the inferior mesenteric artery for the prevention and treatment of ischemic colopathy in operative treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm. The essence of the method consists in shunting the blood flow from the channel of the celiac trunk by anastomosing the right gastroepiploic artery with the inferior mesenteric artery by the end-to-end techniques. Topographoanatomical studies of the right gastroepiploic and inferior mesenteric arteries were conducted on 22 cadavers for experimental substantiation of the suggested method.

[Reconstructive surgery of abdominal aortic aneurysm].

The authors have developed the methods for performance of a reconstructive operation for abdominal aortic aneurysms which permit to avoid prolonged clamping of the abdominal aorta. On the basis of the results obtained, a conclusion of the high effectiveness of these methods has been drawn.
